Infection Control

Let ProCare help you be proactive by identifying and correcting infection control issues before they’re cited. No matter how well your organization is operating, an objective, trained pair of expert eyes can detect problems that might be overlooked by staff. While no one can guarantee 100% compliance, our findings allow our clients to take the lead in addressing their own problems. As a result, their chances of being cited in those areas are significantly minimized. Don’t wait to be cited!
